Some Advice to Wives.
BroOkZun Mn0nzine

Remember that you are married to a
man and not to god; be prepared for
imperfections.
Anticipate the discovery by your hus-
band that you are 'only woman;' if
you were not he would not care about
you.
Once in while let your husband have
the last word !; it will crafty him and
be no particular loss to you.
Be reasonable it is great deal to ask
under some circumstances, but do try !;
reasonable women are rare-be rare.
Remember that servants are made of
the same material as you are; little
coarser grained, perhaps, but the same
in essentials.
Try and forget yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married him,
and remember that he married you; he
will then probably do the reverse.
Let him read the newspaper at break
fast table it is unsociable, but, then,
it is only trife, after all, and he likes
it.
Let him know more than you do once
in awhile; it keeps up his self-respect,
and you will be none the worse for ad-
mitting that you are not actually infal-
lible.
Read something in the papers beside
fashion notes and society columns; have
some knowledge of what is going on in
foreign countries.
Be a companion to your husband if he
is wise man and if he is not, try to
make him become your companion.
Raise his standard, do not let him low
er yours.
Respect your husbands relations, es-
pecially his mother-she is not the less
his mother because she is your mother
in-law; she loved him before you did.

The Interstate Commerce Law.

In an interview with Boston Journal
correspondent, Thursday, Governor Smith
said: The officers and employees of this
company were early instructed to conform
in every particular to the spirit as well as
the letter of the law. All annual and trip
passes not held by railroad officers and en-
ployes were Cancelled April 9th, and our
conductors were instructed to take up all
such passes presented on and after that
date and to collect fare. Most of the an
nual passes for 1887 issued by the manage
ment have been returned to headquarters
by the persons who held them, but quite
number of ANNALS were collected on the
trains. Our conductors report collecting
fares from the railroad commissioners, from
directors of roads in the Central Vermont
system and from government and state
officials and newspaper men whose passes
had expired. Our rule relating to passes is
an iron-clad one. The management, how
ever, has reissued to the railroad commits
sioners and the various state officers an
nual passes, with these words stamped on
the face: This pass is issued subsequent to
April 3, 1887, and is subject to the limita-
tions of the interstate law No passes of
any description will be issued to persons
engaged in interstate traffic. We shall con-
tinue to sell mileage tickets-one thousand
miles for S20-and also return tickets at re-
duced rates. Local fares will remain un-
changed at the reduced rates adopted by
the company at the beginning of the present
year. There will be no change in the ex-
cursion arrangements existing in past sea-
sons, and we propose to carry out all con-
tracts made for excursion business the COM
ing summer" Concerning through and
local freight rates under the new tariff,
Governor Smith said: "The Central Yer
mont has adopted the classification known
as the official classification, which has been
adopted by all the trunk lines, including the
Grand Trunk railway of Canada, which will
apply to through traffic; and we have also
adopted what is known as the New England
classification, which is applicable to local
traffic. The Grand Trunk railway manage.
ment propose to fully conform to the inter
state law, and will work in harmony with the
Central Vermont" Governor Smith said
that under the revised classification freight
rates would be decreased in some directions
and increased in others.

says: "The interstate commerce act causes

Spring Floods.

A rise in White river Sunday, from melt
ing snow, carried out seven supports next
the eastern abutment and two middle ones
of the temporary trestle where the accident
occurred on the Central Vermont railroad
February 5. Trains were run all day Sun
day, and the yard at White River Junction
was cleared of freight going north. The
last train crossed the trestle at six o'clock
Sunday night and at seven o'clock the
trestle moved out of line. Passengers are
carried around from Hartford station to a
point above the trestle. Through freight
will go temporarily via Rutland and through
passengers and mail from below Concord
for points above Montpelier via Wells
River. 1t will take two weeks more after
the river is clear to rebuild the trestle, and
Immediately thereafter the railroad will
build an iron bridge six hundred fifty feet
long.

How 1t has Worked.

In noticing, some time ago, that the Mid
dlebury Register was to adopt the pay-in-
advance plan on subscriptions, the Wood
stock Standard said:
:" 1t is on the right course to reach haven
of relief from needless vexations and dis
couragements that tell heavier on pub
lisher's strength and pockets than all the
legitimate burdens of business. But it re-
reform. At first it will seem like knocking
the very foundations from under ones self
to strike the names of old patrons and re-
sponsible men from the books when their
time has expired, but experience will
abundantly prove that all who intend to
pay will stick the closer. We can speak
from long experience, and do so for the BEN
eft of many who are longing for better
things. Twenty years ago the first of this
year we began the advance system, and from
that day to this have not seen moment
when we regretted the step then taken. On
the contrary, we have every reason to be
thankful that our courage was equal to the
change. Subscribers like it better. There
have not been dozen cases in our long
experience where patrons have assumed
that we were afraid to trust them.
Those who want the paper pay for it and
enjoy it; those who do not desire it are not
pestered with its visits nor called upon to
pay for something they did not order. This
is business on the correct basis. The rule OF
paying for work after ii is done has nc
application here. The publisher is deliver.
ing his goods every day or every week, and
to wait till the end of the year for his pay
entails an uphill struggle or complete ruin

Saratoga, and takes off its follies, hirtations.
pug dogs, low-neck dressing, etc, etc, in a
style that is overlooking with richest humor
and must create great sensation.
In this busy age of the world every one
must needs have much done for him by
others. In nothing, perhaps, is this more APP
parent than in the matter of sitting out
" the best " of the "new books" whose
name is legion, and in full, fair manner
reviewing critically their demands upon our
attention. For such work rare qualities
of head and heart are essential. The Lit
erdry World, published fortnightly by e. II.
Hames q Co., Boston, Mass. aims to do
just this work. 1t is one of our most well
come visitors. Its motto Is Choice Read
ings from the Best New Books, and Critical
Reviews" The fact that il has begun its
eighteenth volume speaks well for the
quality and quantity Of its "life" To some
who have but little time for reading, such
periodical may seem necessary only to per-
sons of abundant leisure. But not so does it
seem to us. The less of time at ones com
mand the more need ofknowing how to use it
to the best advantage. Then there are many
lovers of books who can hope at the most to
get but taste of the good things they con-
tain; in fact, to know of the existence
simply of the books is luxury. To all
such paper like The Literary World is an
invaluable help. Farther, there are the
many little items concerning authors and
their work this journal supplies which one
likes so much to read. But to appreciate it
fully 1t must be read for time. Give it a
trial.
